The latest issue of Q magazine (July 2008) comes with a free 14-track CD of tracks recorded at Glastonbury (mostly in 2007). Artists featured include Amy Winehouse, Paul Weller, The Fratellis and Goldfrapp. Also in this issue is a competition to win one of 23 pairs of tickets to the festival, and a further winner will get a VIP Glasto experience for themselves and three mates, including chauffer-driven transport, helicopter to the site, VIP backstage MyHab camping and £500 of clothes...

Fed up with a soggy tent that falls down on Friday night? Now you can do Reading (or one of several other festivals) in style thanks to MyHab, who will have special MyHab areas in the campsite with prefabricated 'tents' made of waterproofed cardboard. They put them up and take them down, too, leaving the commited festival-goer more drinking time. The sites will also include hot showers, too. Each MyHab sleeps two people. Sounds brilliant, but (and it's a big 'but') each MyHab costs £240 for the weekend, ie £120 per person. Ouch! Still, if you're loaded and fancy a bit of luxury (or as luxurious as it gets without actually booking into a hotel) you can find out more at www.myhab.com. Actually, I'm quite tempted...
